With training camps opening sometime next month, you'll likely see a few final free agent signings between now and then.

Here's one you may not like.

Ron Parker, the former Chiefs safety who had previously spent a little time as a Panther (and who some were hoping would spend more time as a Panther) is signing with the Falcons.

Also on the safety front, Tre Boston turned down a chance to play for Steve Wilks because he said the offer was "very very disrespectful" (PFT)

I'm not sure what would have constituted a "respectful" offer in his mind, but with training camps just around the corner, if you get an offer you should probably take it.

I think Tre just thinks he's worth a lot more than NFL GMs think he's worth. When you're still unsigned in late June, any offer is probably a good one. Teams aren't exactly blowing your phone up in a bidding war.

Plus he'd have been playing for a familiar coach in a familiar system.

Yeah, I'd say he's being a bit of an arse on this one.

I think perhaps the success in SD went to his head a bit, at best while here he was an inconsistent player, his highs were high, and his lows, were low. he has three seasons of average to mediocre film out there. No team familiar or not is going to break the bank on a safety that couldn't hold down a spot in our defensive backfield after three seasons given all the turn over we've had. 

Offers this time of year aren't going to blow a FA's socks off, I have no idea what ''disrespectful'' may allude to, but it's June 25th, one team left you in a cafeteria per his tweet for two hours, and the other rolled out the ''red carpet'' yet you scoff at it. This draft was safety deep, and the free agent market was affected by that from the safety perspective. I can't imagine the offers he gets after an injury, or young players not looking the part will be much better.

Wilks is coaching the Cardinals.

You’re going to like Rivera before it’s over, mark my words. :)

... well, maybe I’ll say you will respect his strengths more than you focus on his weakness. 

Lets hope I’m right.

Personally speaking, I think Rivera is one of the most likable guys you could ever meet.

I'm giving him a clean slate with the firing of Shula and the hiring of Turner, but he and Hurney haven't exactly been a winning combination in the past, so I've got my doubts.

Right on and fair. 

I haven’t been as critical of Rivera as most but that doesn’t mean I’m blind either. 

Fan of his or not, I’m a realist. This business is “win or learn”. Even the most ardent supporters question competency with a lack of results or consistency. 

If this season is a disappointment I have a pitchfork within arms length.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      First of all the out was not caught because XL slipped and was the only person who could have caught that ball.  I'm not sure where you get that it was almost intercepted but go ahead and believe your story. The kick was in the direction we wanted the ball from the opening kickoff.  Do you think Fitzpatrick didn't try several kicks in that direction before the game and after half?  Do you think we just winged it.  Come on, OK so he missed one earlier.  Kickers can't adjust.  You make it sound like it was a wing and a pray. I saw the game.  Yes and we still got 21 yard from the running game.  We also got two first downs via that pass.  So it isn't like it was 100% we were going to run.   You have your blinders on and hate BY so much that you can't give him any credit because it defeats your narrative that he completely sucks.   What I have yet to here is you 100% for sure solution.  Which QB are you going to bring in that GUARANTEES that he'll be better than BY.  See the difference between you and me is I understand that he isn't the greatest QB to play the game.   But he has strengths and he continues to win whether you like it or not.  You and I have been on this forum for many years and agreed and disagreed on many topics.  I don't think I have ever seen you so filled with so much hatred for a player than BY.   I'm just going to leave it here to agree to disagree because you aren't going to change my outlook and I definitely am not going to change yours.  I do appreciate no personal attacks.  Someone said it earlier.  Ride with our game manager until a Mahomes falls into our laps.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      The key difference being expectation. Jake was basically an afterthought of a free agent signing. Bryce is a guy we mortgaged the franchise on to be THE GUY. Not to mention a different era of football before all the rule changes to benefit the passing game. I don't care how we win either. I just realize that the odds of continuing to win in today's NFL with this level of QB play are very low. If I knew for sure that the Panthers had already decided to pursue other options at QB this off-season I could breathe a sigh of relief but of course they're not going to say that publicly.
